🚨 “Please Care Enough to Get the Bazooka” — Antifa Militancy Without the Filter

When people think of Antifa, Eric G. King should be a face that comes to mind. Why? Spend two minutes with this clip from a recent book talk and you’ll see how radical his worldview really is.

King openly describes assaulting police: “I’ve thrown shit at cops. I’ve thrown piss at cops.” Then he pivots to lamenting that activists aren’t willing to go far enough. Prison, he argues, has been normalized as an acceptable consequence, while rage should instead be directed at the people who “make money off prisons.”

His solution isn’t reform. It’s force. He mocks letter-writing campaigns and pleads for something more visceral. “Please care enough to write,” he says, “but also please care enough to get that bazooka.”

King also says he’s heavily medicated, describing violent impulses so extreme that without mood stabilizers he might “pull a knife on someone at a grocery store for bumping into you.”

From there, the worldview sharpens. Law enforcement is collectively defined as the enemy. He claims ICE is “militarized” and broadly smears them as “Proud Boys” and “militants.” His back tattoo says it plainly: “Every cop is my enemy.”

He then laments the state of the abolition movement, criticizing it as too theoretical instead of physically tearing down prisons.

The panel even acknowledges the possibility of federal surveillance, with King directing a message to the FBI agent he assumes is listening: “Go fucking kill yourself… go plant a garden.”

King is currently on a national book tour and has even been interviewed by Business Insider. This isn’t anonymous online rage. Here’s King telling the firebombing story that led to his arrest.

In 2014, after returning from Ferguson, he describes feeling isolated in Kansas City and frustrated that no one around him was willing to engage in what he considered real “direct action.” When his small affinity group failed to “raise the temperature,” he decided to escalate on his own and threw Molotov cocktails at a congressman’s office.

What follows is his account of the charges, the plea deal, and nearly a decade behind bars, much of it in solitary. He frames the attack as an extension of his then-insurrectionary anarchism, rooted in violence and system-toppling, before shifting to how prison reshaped his worldview.

This is speculation on my part, but I’ve long suspected the choice of target was deliberate, meant to make the attack read as a hate crime and inflame tensions in the city.

🧵The “General Strike” is the Far-Left dream scenario.

Listen to the progression in this clip. It starts with outrage over a shooting tied to ICE, then quickly moves to “it won’t be the Democrats” and “it won’t be anyone in the White House.” The conclusion is not reform or accountability, but escalation: “we shut it down” and “we launch a general strike.”

That’s not a narrow demand about ICE enforcement. It’s a broader revolutionary frame that rejects normal politics and treats mass economic disruption as the end goal. It’s also worth noting this is a Singham Network talking point, and they’re pushing it hard. And have been for months.

“A general strike is the next step… to build a socialist future.”

Read my latest in @CityJournal!

The Tariq El-Tahrir Student Network connects student activists with members of Hamas and is tied to a group at the University of Washington. The university unsuspended activists last week, despite $1M in damage and no local criminal charges. A ton of work went into this piece, by me and a whole crew of great people at @CityJournal. It was a labor of love, and we’re hoping it drives real accountability at UW and raises awareness about well organized networks like Tariq El-Tahrir. city-journal.org/article/univer…

🧵ICYMI, @SpanbergerForVA is clearing out UVA’s Board after Jim Ryan quit on their watch.

Blame Ryan. He treated civil-rights compliance like a gamble.

“How much risk are you willing to take?”

DOJ demanded documentation of civil-rights compliance. UVA turned in nothing. @SpanbergerForVA Ryan hints at using legal gray areas to keep DEI alive. But UVA counsel under Ryan, Tim Heaphy, admitted UVA ran DEI programs that crossed legal lines—and that prior administrations signaled they wouldn’t enforce federal civil-rights law.

🚨 Radical Organizer Invokes Minneapolis Burning the 3rd Precinct and Claims “Every Neighborhood” Now Has Rapid Response Groups to Confront ICE

On tonight’s Scholars for Social Justice call, Noah Schumacher, a Minneapolis organizer with the Twin Cities Coalition for Justice, framed Minneapolis as a model of escalation, explicitly invoking the burning of the Third Precinct after George Floyd’s murder.

“This is the same city that burned down, that burned down the 3rd precinct, after, after George Floyd was murdered.”

He then claimed a metro-wide infrastructure of “rapid response groups” now exists in every neighborhood across Minneapolis, St. Paul, and the suburbs, with the stated purpose of monitoring ICE activity and mobilizing to “confront” agents.

“Every neighborhood in Minneapolis, every neighborhood in St. Paul, every neighborhood in the surrounding suburbs… has formed rapid response groups.”

“These groups have dedicated community members reporting on ICE activity so that people can respond as quickly as possible to observe, document, and confront these ICE agents.”

Schumacher did not present this as reform politics. He described it as revolutionary organizing aimed at power, explicitly rejecting reform as the goal.

“We are a revolutionary organization. Our focus is political power.”

“[There is] no reforming the police or reforming ICE.”

He also appeared wearing a National Alliance Against Racist and Political Repression shirt, which is worth flagging as his organization is an affiliate of NAARPR.

Schumacher praised how Minneapolis has a deep bench of experienced activists and that is why this kind of mobilization is possible.

“There's a lot of seasoned, experienced organizers in Minneapolis. There's a strong activist culture in Minneapolis, and so people are showing up and getting in the streets, and it's a beautiful thing to see.”

Stick around. Next I’ll show Schumacher walking through the full rapid response playbook in his own words, plus how their coalition work fits into it. A lot of this won’t shock anyone who’s been tracking this organizing space. But hearing Schumacher lay it out on video is different. It’s one thing to talk in abstractions. It’s another to hear the operational details described plainly, start to finish.

-Schumacher says organized groups go to the Whipple Federal Building every day, describing it as where ICE is “housed” and where detainees are brought.

-He says “rapid response” members show up as early as 4 a.m. to scout and document how many ICE agents enter and leave.

-He describes recording vehicle descriptions and license plates and “getting a read” on agents’ routines and everyday movements.

-He says organizers follow ICE agents around the city and report back to rapid response groups on where they go and what they’re doing.

-He claims they’ve organized patrol groups “on constant alert,” driving and walking through neighborhoods, especially Cedar Riverside.

-He says activists identify the hotels where ICE agents are staying and do all night noise demos “to make sure they don’t get any sleep.”

-He frames this as planned infrastructure, saying they prepared for “increased repression” by building a “united front.”

Schumacher also says the coalition came first. He claims the People’s Action Coalition against Trump, involving 20+ organizations, was formed months ago and that this groundwork is what enabled them to mobilize thousands quickly when ICE agents arrived.

Nothing to see here. Just the daughter of a Holy Land Foundation leader convicted of providing material support to Hamas, a senior Freedom Road Socialist Organization figure, and Zena Ozeir, who has worked as an assistant attorney general in Michigan. Whether she still holds that role was never publicly clarified.

This is the same Zena Ozeir who drew public scrutiny after posting, “Every accusation made by the Zionist entity is an admission. F*ck them, f*ck America, f*ck genocide apologists.” Dana Nessel’s office said it was “reviewing” the post. If any action was taken, it was never publicly disclosed.

Is someone currently on the Michigan AG’s payroll participating in this panel or not? Because the public deserves a straight answer. Her LinkedIn still lists the role as “Present,” for whatever that’s worth.

🚨 Spanberger’s Incoming DEI Chief Cheers a Mob Tearing Down a Columbus Statue, Says the “Ancestors” Took Over

Governor-elect Abigail Spanberger just announced Dr. Sesha Joi Moon as Virginia’s next Chief Diversity Officer and Director of DEI.

In this clip from 2022, Moon recounts a mob yanking a monument down and dumping it in the water, then treats it as righteous because “the ancestors” supposedly guided it.

“Richmond is the only place where the people brought down the first one. It wasn’t the politicians, it wasn’t an organization. The people one night got... The ancestors, just took a hold and said ‘we’re done here’ and yanked that joint down and then threw it in the water. I was on IG [Instagram] like, ‘Richmond is going off right now!’”

The statue she’s talking about was not Confederate. It was Christopher Columbus, funded by roughly 1,000 Italian-American residents of Richmond. It was even opposed by the KKK at the time because Columbus was viewed as a Catholic foreigner.

Not exactly reassuring for the Commonwealth that the state’s incoming top DEI official is openly cheering on, and materially supporting, street radicals smashing civic monuments. After being torn down, the Columbus statue ended up safely in Rockland County, New York, where residents funded its restoration and brought it to their local Sons of Italy lodge.

🚨 UVA Law Pays Anne Coughlin $375,700 to Flinch at “Police” and Hype Abolitionists as “The More the Merrier”

UVA Law professor Anne Coughlin made $375,700 in 2024. Watch how she treats the word “police” like it’s radioactive:

“I don’t wanna use the word police… some of you may be abolitionists… that’s fine, the more the merrier.”

Then she turns a law school classroom into a policy shop:

“You can insist that you get police out of traffic enforcement.”

“You are going to convince your legislators, your city councils, your police that they should cut this out. They should no longer have police in traffic enforcement.”

And she frames freedom as “being protected against the police.”

Then she tells on herself: “I’m assuming everyone violates the traffic code all the time because I do,” and says the police tell her she’s “not a threat,” which “kind of upsets” her because she wants “to be scary.”

Then comes the racial generalization:

“My students of color say to me, ‘You violate the traffic laws all the time because you’re a white woman.’”

This is not training lawyers. It’s training activists. A law school professor’s job is to teach students how to argue both sides, not hand them a preloaded ideology and call it “education.”

And yes, there’s another side she skips. Traffic enforcement is one of the main ways serious crime gets caught in real time: DUI, stolen vehicles, illegal guns, warrants, missing persons, and suspects. Stops and crashes can turn volatile fast, and civilian “ticketing” units don’t have the authority or capacity to detain, investigate, arrest, and control chaotic scenes end-to-end.

Reform is fair game, but “no police in traffic enforcement” ignores deterrence, escalation, and the evidentiary work that actually delivers public safety and justice.

And notice the move: “the court has said,” then “Justice Thomas has indicated,” so one justice’s views get treated as the Supreme Court.

If UVA Law wants to be an activist academy, say so. If it wants to be a law school, start acting like one.

Next: the UVA professor targeted by colleagues for taking a Supreme Court case that went 9–0. For a school with a top-five reputation, the dysfunction is hard to ignore.

🚨 The Melanie Yazzie “I hope you seek to dismantle the United States” clip is doing the rounds again via engagement-hunters with outdated info.

I broke this originally: she’s no longer at Minnesota; she’s now Researcher in Residence at Macalester College. Here is her new bio as well.

🧵 “Nationalize All the Property”: Inside the Alliance for Gobal Justice Network that Congress Just Rightfully Targeted

$54,150,822 lives rent-free in my head.

That’s how much the Alliance for Global Justice burned in 2020 bankrolling the networks that helped fuel street-level chaos.

A few weeks ago @Jim_Jordan and the House Judiciary Committee ordered AFGJ to preserve every document and communication from 2017 to today with Antifa-aligned groups and Refuse Fascism. Thursday was the deadline.

And that letter went to one of the men in this video — James Jordan, National Co-Coordinator at AFGJ (no relation to the congressman, just an inconvenient coincidence).

The speakers here may be older and a little boring. Don’t let that fool you. They’re completely open about what they want and have a respectable war chest.

Here’s what James Jordan and his AFGJ cohort were discussing last week.

“The entire government is taking steps that descend into fascism.”

“We gotta just raise up the volume, put the pressure on these pigs.”

“There is a campaign for unions to blockade military cargo to Israel.”

“Send that bourgeoisie, local bourgeoisie crying to the Cuban Gusanos in Miami.” (Gusano means “worm,” a Fidel-era slur for Cubans who fled the regime.)

“The Cártel de los Soles doesn’t exist. It’s a fabrication. It’s a complete fabrication.” (A straight-up Maduro talking point.)

“The only way… to defeat American imperialism is… a new international… and [to] nationalize all the property in the hands of the imperialists and their local lackeys.”

One speaker even claims the Puerto Rican National Guard will rebel if the U.S. moves on Venezuela. I don’t know about that, but it’s a hell of a thing to be saying into a microphone.

Do you think AFGJ actually handed over those records?
Or are they gearing up to pour some money into labor and far-left Venezuela organizing? During FY2020, AFGJ dumped $49 million into the BLM, bail-fund, and prison-abolition lane. That kind of money doesn’t just “support movements” — it keeps people in the streets and the machinery running. Here’s how the rest of their network breaks down:

32 — Foreign policy / Latin America / “Mideast” / immigration
19 — BLM-aligned groups, bail funds, prison-abolition projects
12 — Movement-building outfits for U.S. organizing
12 — Human rights / Indigenous / environmental / labor groups
Multiple — Catch-all “justice” projects with no listed count

🚨 I obtained William & Mary Professor Stephen Sheehi’s What Is Decolonization? syllabus for Fall 2025 through a FOIA request.

It’s every bit as radical as you’d expect — and then some.

Let’s take a look inside. 🧵 Here’s page one of William & Mary Professor Stephen Sheehi’s What Is Decolonization? syllabus for Fall 2025.

It starts with a land acknowledgment but quickly turns into a sweeping denunciation of the university itself — blasting William & Mary for its current ties to “corporations,” “the carceral state,” “the U.S. military,” and “racial capitalism.”

In reality, these are warped claims — things like the university having a campus police force or partnerships with the military are reframed here as evidence of systemic oppression.

This isn’t a course introduction. It’s an ideological manifesto.

Course Overview is already off to the races — diving straight into “cisheteronormativity,” “ableism,” “capitalism,” and “climate disaster.”

And we’ve still got seven more pages to go. 🤡

🚨 The “Behind Enemy Lines” October 7th materials openly list targets across NYC — businesses tied to the President’s family, Democratic offices, major universities, consulates, Jewish organizations, and even private companies.

It’s important to note this militant network has produced similar maps for multiple U.S. cities. Below is the one for Chicago.

🚨 Flag Burning at UVA Isn’t Spontaneous Activism. It’s a Strategy. Don’t Take the Bait.

Meet UVA Law Student Kirk Wolff, the organizer behind the Antifascist Tailgate and Flag Burning hosted by his group, Friends Against Fascism Organization (FAFO).

“My name is Kirk Wolff. I am a US Navy veteran and a law student at the University of Virginia, and I burned an American flag today, about 90 minutes after President Trump said that burning a flag would result in immediate arrest and imprisonment for a year.”

“The real desecration of our nation’s ideals is coming from the White House. That’s who’s desecrating the flag.”

Wolff has a long record of provocative activism and has done the exact same thing before while protesting for Palestine. The last time, UVA invoked time, place, and manner restrictions, and it quickly turned into a media frenzy over a “student threatened with expulsion for Palestine.”

Now he’s at it again, escalating as UVA melts down over being invited to join President Trump’s Compact for Academic Excellence in Higher Education.

Expect more of this. Wolff knows how to manufacture outrage and frame it as persecution. It’s attention-seeking designed to provoke a confrontation that he and his allies can spin into a civil rights cause. Don’t play into his hand. Earlier this year, he managed to spark a full-blown media frenzy — even Reason took the bait. In truth, it was less about censorship or persecution and more about information-seeking gone sideways: an administrator who’d likely never dealt with something like this before, and confusion over whether explicit political advocacy is allowed near UVA’s JAG School.

🚨 Mahmoud Khalil: Columbia is “McCarthyite and authoritarian” 🚨

In a new video, Khalil says Columbia “bent the knee to Trump” and insists the school must “stand up for your students” and “listen, listen to their demands.”

He’s trying to rebrand disruptive encampments as a civil-rights crusade — curious timing, given this drops the same week a judge ruled he can be deported.

Khalil says he wants “difficult conversations.” Okay, let’s start with the CUAD Substack — where, as spokesman, he pushed a movement openly calling for the end of Western civilization. It’s a point @tal_fortgang (follow him) has made again and again. Read their Substack! The second most recent post literally defends someone who torched 11 police cars.

So tell us, Mahmoud — is torching police vehicles your idea of a civil right?

This clip, from a longer interview with Georges Abdallah — the Lebanese Marxist revolutionary — is now being pushed hard across the pro-Palestine social media.

In it, Abdallah frames Elias Rodriguez’s alleged murder of two embassy staffers as a "revolutionary duty" to eliminate "Israeli agents." The rhetoric is extreme: denying that civilians were targeted, dismissing any call for "politeness and restraint," and urging revolutionaries in the West to rise up.

And it’s being shared by everyone from Calla Walsh to Code Pink ally and GWU grad student Moataz "Taz" Salim — all just days after Charlie Kirk was assassinated. The message is unmistakable: the movement must intensify, even if it means resorting to more extreme and deadly measures.

🚨 UC Riverside Professor Dylan Rodríguez: “F*cking terrorizes civilization. I want to be that kind of terrorist.”

In a recent appearance on Millennials Are Killing Capitalism, Rodríguez — a UC Riverside professor, past president of the American Studies Association, and a leading voice in Ethnic and Black Studies — openly glorified terrorism and insurrection. His teachings don’t stay in the classroom. One of the students he hailed as a “genius” is now serving time for firebombing vehicles at UC Berkeley.

Rodríguez scoffs at nonviolence:

“This pacifism shit will get people killed.”

He praises direct sabotage of federal property:

“Shout out to folks throughout Southern California who are actively disabling ICE vehicles when they find them in the f*cking hotel parking lots.”

And he ties his vision to global militancy:

“Where has Palestinian liberation militancy gone? It’s only upscale. It’s only increased, it’s only globalized, it’s only spread.”

His rhetoric matches his own biography, where he insists:

“Most importantly, Dylan believes in the right — in fact, the obligation — of occupied, colonized, and incarcerated peoples to fight for their liberation… and the parallel responsibility of those who profess solidarity to take all necessary measures to protect, defend, and advance liberation struggle, whatever forms it may take.” One of the students he celebrated as a “singular intellectual, just singular” is now serving time for federal arson and firebombing attacks.

Casey Robert Goonan, 34, of Oakland and Pleasant Hill, pleaded guilty to federal arson charges for a series of firebombings at the Oakland federal building and UC Berkeley in June 2024.

According to the plea deal, Goonan:

Tried to smash windows at the Ronald V. Dellums Federal Building to throw lit Molotov cocktails inside. When stopped by security, he lit the devices in a planter outside instead.

Days earlier, placed a bag containing six Molotov cocktails under the fuel tank of a marked UC Police Department patrol car at UC Berkeley, lit the bag on fire, and fled. The patrol car caught fire and was destroyed.

This is the same Casey that Rodríguez has mentored for nearly 20 years, put into graduate-level courses as an undergrad, and later guided through a Northwestern PhD — describing him as more than a student, but one of his “most precious colleagues.”

🚨 BREAKING: Code Pink crashes a private dinner with President Donald Trump, Vice President J.D. Vance, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth, and Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

“Trump is the Hitler of our time. Free D.C., Free Palestine.”

Why was the Secret Service so slow to respond? How was this even allowed to happen? President Trump had to order them to act! Part 2 which heavily features Olivia DiNucci.

If there’s one soundbite that I hope becomes synonymous with the People’s Conference for Palestine — beyond all the Hamas mentions — it’s this:

“We have to destroy the idea of America in our heads, in our neighbors’ heads, in our comrades’ heads..." I noticed a few questions in the replies. Here’s some additional context that should help clarify things.

🚨 BREAKING: Microsoft employees and "community members" calling themselves the "Worker Intifada" have established a "liberated zone," also known as an encampment, on the Microsoft campus in Redmond, Washington. "We demand Microsoft cut all ties with the entire economy of genocide immediately."

🚨 UN-Backed Feminist Education Program Features Mahmoud Khalil Praising Terrorist Icon and Urging Student “Revolution”

Earlier this week, I attended Transform Education’s From Classrooms to Revolution, featuring Columbia University’s Mahmoud Khalil.

What’s troubling is that Transform Education is part of UNGEI, the United Nations Girls’ Education Initiative. Instead of focusing on education, the event promoted student “revolution” as a moral duty and necessity.

Khalil praised PFLP terrorist Ghassan Kanafani as an inspiration, framed education as “resistance,” and lauded Columbia’s militant campus activism and mutual aid networks that supported students during arrests. He described carving protest chants into his prison bunk, hailed students as the “moral compass” of radical change, and even preached about “positive masculinity.”

Given the militancy of Columbia’s protests, it’s alarming that a women’s education program would choose Khalil as its keynote speaker. Sapphire, a young feminist activist from Trinidad and Tobago, opened From Classrooms to Revolution by declaring that in many societies, young people are “viewed as powerless, entitled, or in some cases even lazy” and “expected to obey authority without question.” She countered that “students have led many of history’s greatest protests” — from the Soweto uprisings to today’s campus encampments — often “at great personal risk.”

She said the event was “a celebration of student activism, countering the narrative that student activists are deviants,” and closed by declaring, “We are agents of change, shifting the world order away from a movement of extractivism, capitalism, and oppression toward collective liberation, freedom, and justice for all.”

It is certainly surprising to hear such far-left, anti-capitalist rhetoric — the kind you’d expect at a socialist rally, not from a UN-backed education program.

🧵 DSA Co-Chair Hails Zohran Mamdani as “Generational Talent” and Blueprint for Socialist Power in America

At the Socialism 2025 conference, Democratic Socialists of America Co-Chair Ashik Siddique painted a sweeping vision for the future — one built around Zohran Mamdani’s rise from DSA’s ranks to the brink of becoming New York City’s mayor.

Siddique called Mamdani “a unique generational talent” and said his campaign proves the DSA can “have people like Zohran all over the country.” He openly embraced naming “class enemies” and promised that with Mamdani in office, socialists could “confront capital where it matters” in America’s wealthiest city.

The DSA leader credited Mamdani’s win to years of post-Bernie DSA organizing, strong union support, and the group’s coordinated “socialists in office” blocs nationwide. He called the primary victory “the biggest thing for the socialist left in the past century,” praising Mamdani as an “organizer in office” who joins strikes, hunger fasts, and direct actions.

“We are trying to build the party and in many ways, we’re already doing it.”

Not the wildest thread you will read today but a revealing look at how DSA built its power and where it plans to take it next. DSA Co-Chair Ashik Siddique laid out the group’s strategy for using the Democratic Party as a launching pad for an independent socialist party.

Siddique said DSA is a “big tent” that includes members who want to reform Democrats, those calling for a clean break, and others pursuing a “dirty break” using the party’s ballot line until they are forced out.

He described the prevailing “party surrogate model” as running DSA candidates under the Democratic label while building the infrastructure for a future socialist party. Representing the DSA’s Groundwork Caucus, Siddique made the goal explicit: “We are trying to build the party, and in many ways we’re already doing it.”

It is important to understand that Siddique is the DSA’s respectable frontman, the buttoned up figure they present so attention drifts away from members calling to abolish the family or boasting that New York City is flying people in for trans healthcare and footing the bill.

It is an open admission that the DSA’s long game is to hollow out the Democratic Party from the inside until it is ready to replace it or compete against it directly, which, as you will hear later, is exactly what they do in deep blue areas.
